Mill Still Going-Repairs Being Made- Compressor Installation Progressing���������Mine Development Being Pushed An unusual scene in, the Legislature and one which must have been gratifying to the Premier was the cheers from his supporters which greeted the .Premier's presentation of the', bills providing for the construction of the Canadian Northern and Kettle River railways." ' ',' ' ' , -' Midnight sessions have been in vogue for the past fortnight, a feature that invariably denotes the near approach of prorogation. A large number of Hills, including the Bill to incorporate; the city of Prince Rupert, passed second reading. Acts "to" incorporate the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway Company and to' amend .the, Midway & Vernon Railway Act." these being supplementary to the railway bills of the previous day, also passed second reading, as did also.a bill* to repeal the Commercial Travellers Licence Act. There was no discussion on any of these. \ , Legislation to further thcSalvation Army's 'Immigration- -schemes' Avas bitterly opposed by the Socialist'members. ��������� ���������������������������'���������.,-: . Attorney-general Bowserintrq'duced a bill to facilitate procuring juries for County Court trials,, aud also a bill to" provide for electrical inspection.. Hon. Mr. McBride moved the second reading of a bill to amend the Midway & Vernon Railway Act. He said it .was a very short bill dealing with the bonus of $5,000 a mile to the company for* the construction of the Midway & Vernon Railway. Whether it was still, within their reach he could not say, but it Avas certain that the Kettle Valley Railway Company had secured control of the charter of the Midway & Vernon,. and ;in order that there- hiight.be no doubt that the.subsidy to the Midway & Vernon no longer existed the Bill Avas brought in to repeal it. The Bill passed second reading. The debate on the railway bill was participated in by.' Messrs'. Brewster, Jardine and Hawthornthwaite of the opposition an'd'Mr. Bowser answered1 the objections. Mr. Shatford inquired as to the amount of-work to. be done on the Kettle Valley this year and "'was told that 25 miles would . be completed and possibly 50 niilesj Avork' to be prosecuted at three pojnts. The Premier further' assured Mr. Shatford that a branch of the road six miles long would be built to Princeton. One of the surprises on the vote on the Canadian Northern agreement was the recording of the support of the member for Bsquimalt, John Jar- dine, with the government. Another surprise was the vote of Mr. Brewster, Alberni, when in a few minutes division occurred on the measure providing for the bonusing of the Kettle River Valley railway. Mr. BreAvster declared himself with the government because, he said financial assistance to this line Avas one of the planks in the platform of his former leader, John Oliver*.

Ottawa, Feb. 2(5.���������The Dominion astronomers say that Halley's comet is now visible through a fairly good telescope, even though it be not as large as that with Avhich the Dominion observatory is equipped. To the south of Mars and the North of Saturn and a few degrees to the Avest of both, Halley's comet will be found. The average eyesight Avill be able to pick out that faint glow in tlie distant skies about April oth. Although this is .the season that work Avas supposed . to be at a stand still awaiting the new water from the melting snows, work-is going forward as briskly as ever and although the mill is unable to run full time it never- . , . * - theless continues', to crush a fair '1 quantity of ore each day: ��������� The work of renewing the trestles on the tramways is getting well on and less than ten days more will complete it..

When the alterations are completed the neAV machine will be available for either water or steam,' and Avill furnish the full quota of 2000 feet of air, which it would'never do' before even with a full head of water ..because of the fact that the original installation plan was never completed and was not meantto be permanent, The neAv arrangement, while it) is intended 'to furnish only half what.the original projected plan was. intended to produce, ' will be complete in itself and run up to the full capacity intended Avith less strain and -will be .'available' for either water or steam which may be used at will. Up at the mine full use is being made of the, ai.r_..supplied. by .present forced action of the two smaller steam' compressors.

In fact no spring since'-those, of-1904 and-. 1905 have given evidence of definite purposes and intelligent planning, out of work for the immediate future equal.to that.which npAv characterizes the operations around the plant. In the mill many and most, important changes are looked for but they will all be effected without the neces- sity-of closing down the works or diminishing in any degree the quantity of ore to be crushed. It is in this part of the company's plant that difficult problems have to be solved to stop the waste that has been going on. Bad designing on the part of the architect Avho originally prepared the plans for the mill will make the problem for betterment more difficult than it would otherwise have been, but nevertheless the situation is not irremediable and before the season is out there will be abundant evidence that the whole concern is under a new regime. It is too early vet to specify what the changes will consist of, but, briefly stated, the attention will be foeussc-d on Avhat might be termed the mill- man's three "Cs", concentration, classification and eyanidation and amalgamation relegated to a secondary position. New machines that will be used to effect the savings as well as increase the output -will be Bunker Hill screens, tube mills, Deister tables, Merrill filter presses and one Oliver filter press and several improved classifiers 11 kl EITENSM The Case Stated at Ottawa By the Member cior Yale-Cariboo WHERE IS TOM KELLOG?

ADVERTISE IN THE GAZETTE Ottawa, March 4,���������The bill respecting the Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern Railway.C.oriipanyi Avas, reported by the..railway committee today with a proviso; .at the suggestion of Mr. Cowan, that all "extensions be, kept within Canadian, territory.-:The bill asks -for the .extension of-,the time of construction from Princeton. westward. <; The ,V. V. & E. is practically the Great Northern and its affairs provide one of the most spectacular fighti* ever witnessed in the railway committee Avhen the legislation .was passed iu ���������1905. ��������� ��������� ' -, Martin- Burrell, Yale-Oarilioo, had charge of the bill today and stated that as .some objections had been received in regard to the present bill, he would state the case and ask the committee to, look carefully into its merits. *- Giving a brief summarv of the legislation from the. time of the original charter in 1897 until the net of 1005 was passed, Mr. Burrell indicated the character of the discussion before the committee and house in 1905. The approved plans of the company at that time called for construction of;, the i*o.a'd;froi^'.r'i5ran.d-,^prks.toj Phoenix,'.'Greenwood and theniie westward, via Midway.'. -The opposition put forward at that time was on the ground of belief or fear "that the road Avould strike southward, across the international- line and/fail to become what Avas originally fnt'eh'ded,'*a Canadian road to the Pacific coast. The promoters of the 1905 bill urged that it. would be-absolutely necessary on account of engineering difficulties to deflect into the state of Washington but that the company Avould undoubtedly build no th ward into Canada after- such deflections and cross the Hope mountains to the Frasei-river at Hope. Mr, Emmerson-What was the character of that legislation in 1905? The legislation, said Mr. Burrell, passed at that time provided for such crossings of the internationaLbounda ry line, conditional on the consent of the governor in council. Section 3 of that act also permitted the company to make necessary arrangements for connections Avith railways in the state of Washington, j authorized to make such agreements and further stated that the company might construct, aid construction of and when constructed, maintain and operate, such portion as part of the continuous line of the company's railway, instead of the line authorized by the acts relating to the comp-iny. By this act the company has now completed construction from Laurier to Princeton, and was making arrangements for the construction of the portion from Princeton west and for this construction the extension of time was asked. In completing this portion there Avere five crossings of the international line two of which, at Molson and Chopaka, were authorized by the governor in council, but three of which, Laurier, Danville and Midway, Avere not authorized. Tlie section of the road from Denoro, through the city of Greenwood, to Midway has not been built. Mr. Burrell presented a resolution of the Greenwood board of trade endorsed by the Associated boards of Eastern British Columbia, protesting against an extension of time unless this unbuilt portion was first constnit- ed. Some of the grounds on which protest was made were that the said three crossings were not authorized, that the company had not built through southern British Columbia to the Columbia river as called for in the charter, and that the route from Denoro to Midway specifically called for and authorized, had not been folloAved. For the past fortnight Alf. Wilkinson who has been working in the stamp mill all winter became uneasy as to the safety of his old partner Tom Kellog with whom he has prospected and trapped in past seasons. Some time before Christmas Kellog left for the head waters of the Ashnola where he intended to'put in a'month oi- two trapping and did not take supplies enough with him to stay out the whole winter.. Knowing this Wilkinson, after January had passed by, expected to see him come in any time, and'as week after week went'by without any news from him, hedecided to go out and try'to locate him.'r Accordingly on Sunday last he started out accompanied by Jack Way, who knows the camping grounds up the Ashnola pretty well, having trapped there, one winter with Billy Dunn, and in a few days time they hope to have the satisfaction of finding him all safe, and sound. The past winter- has been a. good one for. trappers and if Kellog was meeting with good success with his line of traps and was fortunate enough to knYVck' over a good frit buck or two to help out his supply of' rations, he could not be blamed for showing a reluctance to le-ive them as Long as game was com- , ing his way. It is hoped that by this time they have come up with him and found that he is till right. McEWEN���������SMITHERAM Dr. McEwen, sprang somewhat of a surprise on his Hedley friends last Saturday, when he phoned up to them from Keremeos to get the tin cans ready. By incessant threatening to clo the deed he managed to disarm suspicion, but Saturday's new^'from Keremeos where'he had gone a couple .of days before, made them grasp the situation that the real thing had happened.' The wedding' took place on Saturday at the home of the bride, atOlalla, Avhen the doctor-.--was. united iu marriage with Miss Lilian Smitheram, third daughter of the. late Mr. and Mrs. Smitheram, in the presence of her* brothers aud sister and a few intimate friends. The marriage ceremony, was performed by Rev. A. H. Ransoine. Miss May Smitheram was bridesmaid and Mr. F. H. Parsons groomsman. The bride was married in a handsome blue plaid travelling dress after Avhich the bridal party repaired to Moyes Hotel, Olalla for luncheon, Avhere Mrs Moyes had prepared a dainty wedding repast in the excellent style for which her cuisine is noted. On Monday the' doctor brought his bride home to Hedley and received the congratulations of his numerous friends. The Gazette joins in extending heartiest congra tulations. Mr. Burrell stated that ho did not desire to see construction delayed as completion of the raihvay from Princeton to the coast was a matter of great importance to the people of southern British Columbia, but it was evident that non-fulfillment of the plans had created a hardship in the case of Greenwood and the immediate district and he would like to believe that a portion Avould now be constructed and asked the committee to give full consideration to the merits of the case. More than $14,000,000 had now been spent in construction and he understood that contracts had been let for work on that portion of the line between Princeton and Tulameen and also from Abbotsford to Hope. Mr. Lennox observed that the company had evidently shown good faith by returning into Canada, Avith which the committee w*is .mainly concerned. In answer to a question by Mr. Cowan, Mr. Daly stated that work would be all on Canadian territorv. Ixamsiule���������Old Lady���������"What is the title of the picture, dear?"

EXTENSION BILL The success, met so. far by Martin . Burrell, "M. P. in engineering the V. V. I&.E. extension bill through the House of Commons at Ottawa is particularly gratifying and shows not only his breadth and common sense in taking the view of the.matter which he has done, but also his tact as a legislator in being able to get his associates in the House to work with him instead of needlessly antagonizing bhem. The old adage than you can do more with an ounce of sugar than a pound of vinegar evidently is one that Mr. Burrell believes in and practices. The situation in which he Avas placed was certainly a difficult one. There he was confronted with a resolution of the Greenwood Board. of Trade; backed up by the indorsation of the Associated Boards of Trade of the Kootenay, asking that no extension ���������be granted until the Great Northern complete the road over the original route which the charter covered and which really meant the roundabout mountain route by way'of GieeiiAvood, Denoro and Phoenix instead of the short water grade route along the Kettle through Curlew. Now if Greenwood has a grievance against anybody in addition to the Great Northern which has raised their hopes only to dash them to the ground, it Avas against Duncan Ross avIio went in hand and glove Avith the Great Northern in the memorable session of 1905 to get them permission to deflect a line into Washington, which had already been deflected, for ��������� the Great Northern had then been built to Republic by way of Laurier, Grand Forks, Danville and Curlew. Neither do we say that Duncan Ross was wrong in the thing he advocated at that time for the Gazette thought he was right at the time and supported him in it, and we still think he was right. What we did blame him for was creating opposition for himself by adopting bullying tactics which members of the House would not tolerate, and tin." fact that many of those who voted against him then are giving no opposition now, is proof of the mistake he made in that connection. The parties who have made volte face in the matter are the members of the Gn onwood Board of Trade. Those who are now insisting most loudly that coast connection be hung up until the mountain route is completed through Greenwood and Denoro, gave I New from Cover to Cover WEBSTERS NEW INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY JUST ISSUED, W.> Chief, Dr. Y/.T-JI-iris Jsrmer U.
